Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.

Key Points: 
  • Sarcomas represent over 100 histological subtypes and are highly heterogenous in their genetic landscape and prognosis.
  • The detection of SVs and CNVs remains challenging and typically requires multiple traditional cytogenetic techniques.
  • In this study, researchers demonstrated OGM’s ability to detect aberrations as small as 500 bp, which is approximately 10,000-fold higher resolution than that of KT.
  • As shown in this study, OGM can provide better characterization of the genomic complexity of sarcoma samples when compared to traditional cytogenetic techniques, due to the workflow’s high resolution and ​comprehensive, genome-wide analysis.

HBOC syndrome is estimated to cause 5-10% of all breast cancers and is commonly characterized by harmful germline mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.

Key Points: 
  • HBOC syndrome is estimated to cause 5-10% of all breast cancers and is commonly characterized by harmful germline mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
  • The study authors selected OGM for this analysis due to its ability to detect multiple classes of SVs with genome-wide coverage, high resolution and accuracy.
  • Eight novel gene fusions were identified by OGM, including three that had not previously been detected by other methods of analysis.
  • “We are pleased to see the publication of this study, which highlights OGM as a promising tool for detecting novel variants in HBOC-related breast cancer that have oncogenic potential.
